NASA to Study Human Health and Performance on Crew-13 Mission

During the SpaceX Crew-13 mission to the ISS, astronauts will support biomedical and human performance investigations, including studies on blood flow, manual piloting, and countermeasures for vision and brain changes.

A new collaboration, Venous Haemostasis, will study how microgravity affects blood clotting and circulation, aiming to reduce blood draws and better understand clot risk.

Astronauts will undergo scans and checks before, during, and after flight to inform preventative measures and improve health and safety.

The Manual Piloting study will assess astronauts' ability to perform challenging landings after microgravity exposure, evaluating refresher training effectiveness.

The B-Complex study will continue to investigate if B-vitamin supplements can prevent SANS, also assessing vision and blood vessel function.

Additional studies include Standard Measures (physiological data), Spacecraft Occupant Risk (landing forces), and Zero T2 (exercise routines for future missions).

These investigations aim to protect astronaut health and performance for future missions, including Artemis and deep-space expeditions.
